Let me make this real simple for you: The Bobcats just purchased a first-round draft pick with money they had to spend anyway.

The headlines will say that Ben Gordon was traded for Corey Maggette, but pay no mind; they're just contracts in this deal. They're not bad players necessarily, but they're roughly equivalent talents with oversized contracts on teams going nowhere.

The real action comes through the draft pick and the money changing hands. Charlotte now has a potential lottery pick in 2014 or 2015, and the cost is the difference in salary (about $14 million). Normally, that would be an excessive price to pay, but these aren't normal times. The Bobcats may not hit the league's salary floor in 2013-14, let alone the cap, so the $13.2 million that Gordon adds to their payroll in that season doesn't stand to hurt them much since they needed to add a bunch of salary anyway. In that sense, they really paid far less than $14 million for the draft pick.

From Detroit's perspective, this deal was a no-brainer. The Pistons dump $13.2 million from their 2013-14 payroll, since Maggette's contract expires in 2012-13, retain their amnesty clause to use on Charlie Villanueva (instead of maybe Gordon) and now stand to be as much as $20 million under the cap that summer, depending on what moves they make between now and then.

evo objašnjenje tradea za one koji nisu shvatili o čemu se tu  zapravo radi

nisi u pravu, ovaj trade je čišćenje capa, nikakvo oslobađanje mjesta za novog beka, imaju već brandona knighta i rodneya stuckeya, neki dan su imali grupni workout i to samo sa visokim igračima (henson, leonard, pj3, terrence jones, zeller) i navodno je henson pokazao najviše i govori se da će uzeti njega ukoliko drummond kojim slučajem ne padne do njih
